  2. Key Points ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  3. Global Economic Overview ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  4. Global Growth Moderately Revised, Increased Risks More Apparent • World economic growth forecast revised to an estimated 4.0% in both 2011 and 2012 • Global activity has weakened and become more uneven, consumer confidence has fallen sharply, and downside risks are growing • Assumptions to growth forecast depend on several factors: • European policymakers will be able to contain the euro area crisis • U.S. policymakers can strike a balance between support for the economy and medium-term fiscal consolidation • Volatility in global financial markets stabilizes • Advanced economies facing anemic growth of only 1.6% in 2011 • Shocks including the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and social unrest in some oil-producing countries, major financial turbulence in the euro area, and sell-off of risky assets in global markets all contribute to lower estimate for advanced economies • Emerging economies projected to grow 6.4% growth in 2011 • Economic growth remains robust, but concerns over inflation and overheated economies Source: IMF, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, OECD, IATA ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  7. Current Airline Industry Trends & Performance ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  8. Continued Passenger Demand Strength Buoys the Industry…But How Long Will It Last? • Strong passenger demand, driven by economic optimism earlier in the year, will push revenues up by 9% YOY to $594 billion • YTD capacity growth is outpacing demand – a troubling sign • From January-July, total passenger traffic grew 6.4% and capacity grew 6.8% YOY, with international passenger traffic growing 7.8% and capacity growing 9.2% • Meanwhile, from January-July, total cargo traffic grew 1.0% and capacity rose 5.6% YOY, with international cargo traffic growing 1.5% and capacity rising 7.3% • Premium passenger traffic has increased 8.2% YOY, for January-July • Premium & economy trends (after weakness at the end of 1Q and beginning of 2Q) rebounded to levels close to average growth trends for the past 20 years • Global airlines to post $6.9b in net profits for 2011, down from $15.8b in 2010 as a result of economic uncertainty and volatile fuel Source: IATA “Financial Forecast “ (September 2011), Premium Traffic Monitor ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  14. Industry Challenges ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  15. Economic Uncertainty Expected to Challenge Passenger Airlines in the Coming Months • Passenger market is running on fumes of earlier economic optimism • Strong passenger demand, driven by economic optimism from earlier this year, was met by increased capacity and intense aircraft utilization • Premium travel remains strong, most likely due to travel plans made earlier in the year as well as travel budgets being set • Fourth quarter and early 2012 may be the weakest time • Weakness in 2H11, but tighter supply/demand conditions will help offset • Economic challenges may catch up to premium travel and cause a slowdown in 4Q11/1Q12 • Slippage in load factors expected in 2012, as traffic will struggle to match capacity • Historically, the industry has lost money when GDP dips to 2% ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  17. Despite an Increasingly Gloomy Economic Outlook, Air Travel Continued to Expand at a Pace Close to Trend in July Total Passenger Growth by Region Source: IATA “Air Transport Market Analysis” (July 2011) ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  18. Cargo Already Experiencing the Weight of Economic Challenges • Indicators show economic uncertainty looming • International trade essentially stopped growing at the end of 2010 • Business confidence in manufacturing (a leading indicator for premium travel) has steadily declined and now shows signs that growth is expected to plateau • Air cargo seeing stagnation as a result of economic challenges • Restocking cycle drove air cargo’s post-recession peak in May 2010 • Since the end of the restocking period, shippers have used more ground transportation – causing a decline in air cargo demand • Cargo load factors are still reasonable by historic standards, but have fallen 4 to 5 percentage points since 2010 • Second leg of air cargo recovery is not expected until 2012 • Cargo represents about 12% of airline revenues ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  21. Volatile Fuel Still an Industry Challenge • Economic uncertainty led to a decrease from jet fuel’s 2011 highs • On September 20, jet fuel prices ($123.73/bbl) decreased 12.7% from 2011’s high on April 8 ($141.75/bbl) • Increasing crack spreads have stopped jet fuel from falling as much a crude oil • From January 1 to September 20, crack spreads increased about 2.5 times • From January 1 to September 20, NYMEX crude decreased 5.1% • Brent has been more volatile due to North Sea supply and turmoil in MENA • From January 1 to September 20, Brent increased 19.4%. But, as of September 20, Brent decreased 10.7% from 2011’s high • Japan’s nuclear outages, geopolitical threats, and absence of Libyan oil could pressure the current trend of falling crude and jet fuel prices • 2011 fuel costs to rise 27% YOY to $176b, about 30% of expenses • Fuel hedging expected to delay the benefits of falling fuel prices, as 2012 industry fuel costs are expected to grow 14% YOY Source: IATA Airlines Financial Monitor, IATA “Financial Forecast” (September 2011), IATA Press Releases, EIA, NYMEX

  27. European Trends Slightly Up, But Comparisons to a Difficult 2010 Misleading • European airlines now forecast profits of $1.4 billion, up from $500m earlier this year • European airlines doing better than expected in recent months, despite weakening economy and being the source of global economic problems • A weak Euro has stimulated more inbound travel and boosted exports • Current improvement is not considered sustainable and 2012 profits forecasted to drop to only $300m • Traffic up compared to depressed 2010 levels, expect some slowdown in months ahead • Traffic was up nearly 10% in the first five months, while capacity grew 10.9% • Capacity cuts have been announced for Lufthansa and Air Berlin, while IAG is studying reductions for the winter • Air France expects its long haul capacity to be slightly less this winter than originally planned Source: AEA, IATA, Morgan Stanley, UBS, Wall Street Journal, Airline Business, ATW, Aviation Daily, ATI, BAA, ACI ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  28. North American 2011 Profitability Dependent on Interplay Between Fuel and Capacity • North American airlines expect profits of $1.5 billion in 2011 and $1.2 billion in 2012 • Renewed risks of recession as global economy softens • Revenue levels will slow as output contracts • Risks to profitability include rising fuel prices, capacity growth, and high unemployment rates • Capacity discipline will be vital to profitability • Thru July YTD, system passenger traffic was up 3.5% and capacity up 4.1% • Revenue growth has subsided slightly in recent months, but the nine fare increases early in the year, coupled with a two week tax benefit (for most carriers), has helped offset the fuel increases earlier in the year • Several carriers have again cut capacity for the 4th quarter and into 1Q2012 due to softening economic situation Sources: IATA, ATA, JP Morgan, UBS, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, CAPA ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  29. Asia Pacific Airlines Expected to Contribute 46% of the Total Industry Profits • Asia Pacific airlines forecast $2.5b in profits for 2011, down from profits of $7.6b in 2010 • 2011 profitability to decrease due to higher fuel costs as well as inflation controlling measures in China which are owing trade and cargo demand • Despite current challenges, optimism about future growth opportunities remains positive • Growth to continue but seemingly at a slower pace • Thru July, passenger traffic was up 4.1% YOY, with capacity jumping 6.8% • Thru July, air freight markets were down 3.5% YOY and remain about 10% lower than pre-recession levels • India's airlines reported continued strong domestic pax growth of 22.3% in Jul-2011, following on from an 18% expansion in 1H11 • While India is now the 9th largest and fastest growing domestic market in the world, its carriers struggle financially Sources: IATA, AAPA, Wall Street Journal, ATW, Airline Business, Reuters, AP, Air Transport Intelligence, International Business Times, Aviation Daily, BusinessWeek, Bloomberg Businessweek, CAPA ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  30. Latin America to Generate the Highest Profit Margin in 2011 • Latin American carriers to post $600m in profits in 2011 and $500m in 2012 • Net profit margin expected to be 3.5% in 2011, compared to 2.5% for global • Demand growth to continue in Latin America, driven by economic activity, income growth, and less exposure to volatility • Delta invests in Aeromexico – $65m for Board seat and 3.5% stake • Aeromexico and Delta will expand existing codeshares to include all trans-border flights as well as some additional domestic and int’l flights • Strong domestic air travel in Brazil • Domestic passenger traffic up 18% on 11% additional capacity thru July • Intense competition led to a sharp drop in yields in 2Q2011 • LAN/TAM merger – Approval with conditions Sources: ALTA, IATA “Financial Forecast”, CAPA, Bank of America, Airline Business ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  31. Mideast and African Markets to Grow in 2011, But Carriers Will Struggle With Unrest and Competition • Middle East forecasts holding steady, still expecting to post profits of $700m in 2011 • Traffic was up 8.3% thru July, while capacity was up 9.0% • Traffic holding up better than expected in the aftermath of political unrest • Some Middle East airlines will benefit from economic growth and a growing share in long-haul markets in 2011, while others are hurt by political unrest • African Airlines expect to breakeven in 2011 • Traffic levels were down during the summer, compared to a year-ago, when the World Cup boosted traffic results • Thru July, total passenger traffic was slightly down compared to last year, with capacity up 2.5%. • International passenger traffic was up 1.0%, with a 4.7% increase in capacity. • Real opportunity for African airlines to grow the intra-African market Sources: IATA “Financial Forecast”, IATA Traffic Releases, Yahoo Finance, CAPA, Airline Business, Arab Air Carriers Association, Wall street Journal ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  32. Global Alliances ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis

  33. Alliance Overview • 2011 marks the 14th year of major global airline alliances • Alliances comprise 63% of global airline traffic and roughly 55% of passengers travel on an alliance carrier • Structure of alliances change as airlines move toward greater cooperation • Expanding cooperation with ATIs and JVs • Anti-trust immunity allows carriers to form joint ventures as well as coordinate schedules, pricing, yield management and other functions • JVs allow carriers to gain merger-like benefits while keeping separate operations: revenue/profit sharing and cost cutting measures • Due to ATIs and JVs, alliances become an alternative to cross-border mergers • Consolidation trends impact alliance membership Source: Star, SkyTeam, oneworld , UBS Global Aviation ALPA - Economic & Financial Analysis
